A trip to London is always so much fun and I think that it can really be helped by having a car on hand. I have tried London with and without a car and found having a car a far better option especially with a young family in tow. We flew in to Heathrow and everyone was already tired and the prospect of having to wait around for a train was very daunting so we hired a car and it was fantastic.
It made travelling around so much quicker and easier and it gave the children a rest between the different places that we were visiting. They even had a nap at times, which I don’t think they would have been able to do on the tube or on a bus. They also seemed a lot more relaxed and able to walk further knowing that they would be able to sit down in the car when we were returning to the hotel. I found it better too as I do find it quite annoying waiting fro public transport and so being able to just get to the car and set off straight away was a lovely feeling for me. I guess we are lucky that my husband likes driving and so is happy to take us through London, which could be daunting for some, but was really very easy and I could have easily coped with it myself, had I needed to. I will definitely be hiring a car next time we visit the city too.

As the busiest airport in Britain and beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the busiest airports in the world, you’d be crazy not to hire a car from Heathrow. Taxis lurk just outside the exits from the airport and there are still taxi drivers who like to take non-locals the long way around the block in order to get them more money, although, admittedly, there aren’t as many as could be said a few years ago! But when everyone wants the London experience they want a taxi ride, so you are unlikely to be able to beat the queues to get one! Public transport in London, although not quite up to the standard on the continent, is still very good, but you’d be crazy to prefer to carry all your baggage instead of just throwing it in the boot.
The best thing you can do is hire a car from the Airport. With a variety of different makes of car and a car for any sized family. It would be madness not to hire a car when it’s so easy and convenient. You can be in and out incredibly quickly and on your way with a minimal amount of fuss and waiting. You also have the benefit of security and convenience. Instead of having to work out the transport schedules and have your journeys limited by public transport, you can use the car instead! Without hiring a car, everything is made ten times more difficult and it is all unnecessary.
